| | Nursing Home |
 | | Nurses regard patients and their families as integral members of the care team and believe it is vitally important for patients to be informed and involved in their care so that they understand their treatments. | | | Because they generally spend more time with patients than do other members of the health care team, nurses are ideally positioned to advocate for their patient's needs and rights. | | | There will be opportunities for nurses who enjoy writing, who are interested in technology (nursing informatics), or who may want to lead the charge in the political arena. |

| | Nursing Home Abuse |
| | The ultimate result is serious and even life-threatening problems for nursing home residents: weight loss, failure to treat pressure sores or manage pain effectively, hospitalization, malnutrition, dehydration and even starvation. | | | Administrators: No state requires a nursing home administrator to have any clinical background or extensive experience in health care management. | | | Most nursing homes provide three levels of care — subacute (most residents need rehabilitative services for only a limited time); skilled (more intensive than traditional long-term care but less than hospital care); and long-term (for residents with chronic diseases). |

| | Nursing Home Statistics |
| | Nurses: (2001) The shortage of nurses and nurse aides is rapidly reaching the crisis point and is threatening the quality of patient care. | | | Most of the deaths are caused by neglect traced to caregivers whom the elderly rely on for food and liquid, and for turning them in their beds to prevent life-threatening sores, investigators and researchers say. | | | The program focuses on specific hazards that account for the majority of nursing home staff injuries and illnesses, including ergonomic back injuries from patient handling, bloodborne pathogens/tuberculosis, and slips, trips and falls. |

| | Skilled Nursing Facilities (aka Nursing Homes) |
| | Patients can receive almost any kind of rehabilitative therapy in nursing homes these days, most of which will be covered, in whole or part, by Medicare or Medicare HMO's. | | | There are rule changes happening all the time regarding who qualifies, what they can divest themselves of and what they can keep in their own name and still qualify for Medi-Cal benefits if they are hospitalized in a nursing home. | | | It is difficult to say too much on this subject, as it is both complex and legalistic. |
